Alignment and now grinding
Lowerd my truck and c notched the back. Finally finished that up mid last week. Took it to a shop for an alignment on Thursday night. They ended redoing my shims 3 times and I was to pick it up today
When I drove it there (about a mile away) I had no problems other than I realized like most of us that my long tube headers arent going to cut it. Other than that everything seemed normal. I go to pick it up and right away i can feel and hear something grinding. My first thought was "oh no, it had settle way more than we thought" and I might be rubbing on a tire. So I stopped and went around to all 4 checking for clearance. I could easily get my hands in between the wheel wells and the tires and I couldnt see anything rubbing from underneath. So I get in the truck and start moving again. By moving I mean just stepping on the gas enough to let the clutch out 3-5mph tops. And its still doing it. I would compare the noise and feeling to what the tires might sound like rubbing, or maybe the brakes dragging. I did have brakes and from what I could tell my brake pedal felt fine. I didnt have to pump it or anything like that. I only made it about 15 yards. Put the truck in reverse and backed right back up to the shop doors (still making the noise in reverse). I told the shop owner what it was doing and he just said, well we didnt mess with the brakes. We will take a look at it on Monday.... Anyone every have that happen after an alignment? Any ideas what it might be? Oh, and nothing was dragging on the ground either.
